TTF fonts not available on Intellij

Question

I am running Intellij 11.0.1 on Ubuntu 11.10. I have installed some ttf fonts. My question is when I trying to change font under appearance, why I can see those fonts under ecli

Answer 1

As per Can I make IntelliJ IDEA look more like Eclipse?

Fonts are rendered by the JVM, so it shows any TTF fonts that it can find. If for some reason not all your system TTF fonts are visible, you need to copy *.ttf files into JDK_HOME/jre/lib/fonts. After restarting IDEA you'll be able to choose new fonts. Fonts missing some Unicode characters required for proper code display will not be listed.
